VMS Help CMS, RESERVE, Examples  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    (1) CMS> RESERVE FILEIO.BLI
        _Remark: fix temporary descriptor bug
        %CMS-S-RESERVED, generation 13 of element
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]FILEIO.BLI reserved

      This command reserves generation 13 of the element FILEIO.BLI.
      When the element is replaced, a successor generation is
      created.

    (2) CMS> RESERVE SYNTAX.PAS
        _Remark: add syntax for RECORD declaration
        Element SYNTAX.PAS currently reserved by:
          (1)  JERRYH     1     24-JUL-1988 16:17:45 "implement FOR
               loop syntax"
        Proceed?  [Y/N] (N): YES
        %CMS-S-RESERVED, generation 1 of element
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SYNTAX.PAS reserved

      This example creates a concurrent reservation for the element
      SYNTAX.PAS. Because you type YES in response to the Proceed
      prompt, generation 1 of the element is reserved.

    (3) CMS> RESERVE COPY.BLI/GENERATION=12/MERGE=11A1
        _Remark:merging new I/O routines with library self checking
        %CMS-W-MERGECONFLICT, 31 changes successfully merged
        with 3 conflicts
        %CMS-S-RESERVED, generation 12 of element
        DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]COPY.BLI reserved and merged with
        generation 11A1

      This command merges generation 11A1 into generation 12 of the
      element COPY.BLI and reserves generation 12. The version that
      is delivered to the user directory contains the changes from
      both generations. Thirty-one changes were successfully merged.
      There were three conflicts between the two generations. These
      conflicts must be resolved by editing the file.
